When I was way younger, I used to write stories like: “the old woman and the boy”. These stories were very predictable. E.g. “There were two boys, one good, one bad. The bad boy did not help the old woman carry her load whilst the good boy obviously helped the woman. The old woman blessed […]

The “how” of the matter
A friend knocks at your door on a very tiring day,he does not even wait for you to open up before pushing his way through with irritating chants of “I have the solution… i have the solution”. You’re just thinking solution to what? when he blurts out “I have the solution to Nigeria’s electricity problem!”. Lol. It […]
I’m Done! #Keepingfaith
You are standing in front of your room after a long day, you can’t wait to get in and feel the soft cushion of your bed against your back. That, for now is *bae and the only obstruction between you and *bae is this key that appears to be hooked inside the key hole, making […]

9:00pm: To text or not to text was what this was all about and just like that two whole weeks passed by. She really wanted to talk to him, to know if he was fine, how he was pulling through the many storms of life. Not like it mattered what they would talk about, didn’t that […]
